A methodological proposal for Capital Flow Matrices (CFM) estimations 2000-2009

Abstract

This paper presents an estimation of investment flows for Brazil between 2000 and 2009 at the sectoral level through Capital Flow Tabels (CFTs). CFTs were estimated for the economy as a whole and according the origin of products (domestic or imported). We use data from Mdic, IBGE, BNDES, Petrobras, and we adopt Brazilian National Accounts classification. Among others, CFTs can be used to elaborate multisectoral dynamic models and to calculate capital stock and multifactor productivity at the sectoral level.
